Nikki nodded. "No - no, it's fine. It's not like you meant to buy defective condoms or anything. Just give me a bit to learn if I'm okay or not to try again and, I don't know, get some new condoms while we wait, if you can." Nikki decided it might as well be time to go get some food anyway.
Clare, though, soon got her wish in approaching the teacher. Ms. Castle, or Sam as she preferred to be called, was a younger teacher still adjusting to classes once more. She'd had to take a year off teaching to take care of her baby, but now Andrew was a bit older and her sister was willing to live with her and help out... Well, things would be just fine. It felt strange to be so young and to have a child, and to be teaching teenagers all not that much younger than herself to boot, when she really thought about it. Less than ten years for some of them. Still, she wasn't immune to the whispers of what plenty of the boys and even some of the girls would do to her if they got her alone.
Still, Sam held tutoring sessions for her history class every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. Today, no one had yet come in, and she was tempted to close up early so she could get home, but she still had some time to wait and see if someone would come through that door. She pushed her red hair behind her ear and adjusted her glasses, using this time to grade papers at least.
